The following individuals have all done absolutely fabulous work as part of the many-headed beast that is the Insect God, and shall be rewarded in turn when the last strongholds of humanity fall to our beloved, segmented friends.

:: ADAM

if it were possible for Slash and Trent Reznor to conceive a child from their unholy matrimony, we hope their bastard offspring would resemble Adam Savage-Adalman, current guitarist and songwriter for the Nashua, NH-based Shockwave.

Adam plays guitars on our cover of Down Rodeo.

:: AMADEA

within the Catholic pantheon, Liz Amadea Nickrenz is known as the Patron Saint of Watercolors, Post-It notes, and Synthpop. it is said that she will manifest to sufferers in the final stages of Heartbreak, proferring clean tissues, a lukewarm cup of coffee, and a smile.

her gospel has come to us in the form of Scissorkiss and some solo acoustic folk music.

she's sung on several tracks so far, including Bad, Safety Dance, and the never-quite-finished Straight Up.

:: HEIDI

Heidi Jönsson sings on the German mix of 99 Luftballoons. she speaks more languages than anyone would ever need, and knows more about natural poisons than anyone should ever be allowed to learn.

her other interests include soy hot chocolate and dancing on the beach late at night. she is currently lost, somewhere in Europe, without a map, with a pocketful of keys.

:: JESSE

the medieval Icelandics knew Jesse Recinos as the illicit son of Snorri Sturluson and the jotun's daughter Skade, and in these legends he claims direct lineage from both Egill Skallgrímsson and the royal family of Hålogaland.

more recently, he has been seen in such electronic acts as Ghidorah and the TimeQ*bists.

in addition to teaching us quite a bit about digital music engineering, he appears on guitars on the tracks Bad and 99 Luftballoons. he can also be heard on the in-progress cover of Body Count's Cop Killer.

:: PHILIPPE

Philippe LaRock La-Rocks! all the time! sometimes he can't even see where he's going what will all the block-rocking, 24/7, ass-kicking adrenaline that surrounds him everywhere he goes!

in addition to doing guitars in the now-legendary but sadly-defunct Five-Minute Mystery, he's brought his guitar-playin' and smooth-singin' skills to Safety Dance.

:: TYLER

Tyler Krpata, straight off the muthaphukkin' streets of CPT, appears in the 2001 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records under Most Fo'ties Pounded and Most Hatas Bitchslapped.

he did some programming on Down Rodeo.

his bad ass can also be heard rapping at See Jack Cum, and spinning drum n' bass at Twin Ion Engine.

also, he's got hooks for feet.
